house battery install, basic
hey guys, I'm back! I've dug through forums and other resources, but cannot find a direct comparison to what id like done. I restored a '79 ford class C (E350 chassis). it was really poorly rigged ...

I would say the wire is already there but not connected.
Second photo posted showing the starter reklay shows a loose ring terminal wire. The wire has yellow terminal. That is about the size from first picture of the isolation relay. That could be the wire to the isolation relay input large post.
You normally would be buying a peice of wire and terminals. You would then crimp the ring terminals on yourself.
it was there, but the crimp came undone and it appeared to be maybe 12 or 10 gauge, pitiful. I went and picked up 4 gauge stranded and copper terminals and a crimper, returned all the other pre made wires. the ones I made are very solid, and I wrapped the entire lengths in electrical tape. I now have the starter battery out, and connected positive from starter switch to isolator, am warming up, and will continue on. be back if I run into any issues, or when finish!
EDIT: between the starter switch and isolator, and/or between the isolator and battery, do I need inline fuses? I certainly hope not
